I tested this in fluxbox and xfce. I see no Trinity apps in the 
menus.

Upon further reflection, although possibly we have been overzealous 
with using OnlyShowIn=TDE, I suspect not. We do need to use that 
directive for certain apps, but I don't think that is the root 
cause of the problem described by the blog author.

I suspect the problem with other environments not seeing Trinity 
apps is environment variables. As just about all of us build 
Trinity to install to /opt/trinity, not a single environment 
default configuration will find Trinity apps with standard 
environment variables. Specifically the XDG_* variables that affect 
finding trinity files.

I believe then the first hurdle is how to help other environments 
find all Trinity *.desktop files.

I wonder whether we should install the menu files to /etc/xdg/menus 
rather than /etc/trinity/xdg/menus.

A caveat: when KDE4 is concurrently installed with Trinity, the 
respective environment menu can become a hopeless cluttered mess. 
This is true in my xfce test. We have a build-time option to add 
"[KDE4]" to all KDE menu items, but that might affect only the 
Trinity menus. I'd have to run a build test to see any effects on 
the Xfce menu.

This topic deserves further investigation.
